CONFLUENCES
Take a sound walk on the Ucross campus.
Confluences, an emplaced sound experience created by Ucross Fellows Teri Rueb and Laurids Sonne, is available via a free downloadable app (iOS and Android) that visitors can run on their mobile phones while walking the land. Interactive areas of sound play as visitors wander, revealing a sonic landscape of sounds recorded over three years that include voices of the Ucross community, former artist residents, local residents of Clear Creek Valley and field recordings taken in different seasons.
Check in at the Ucross Art Gallery, where a limited number of devices and headphones are available for loan. Hours are Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We recommend that visitors with their own equipment download the app in advance over WiFi and bring headphones. The piece is open-ended, and sounds are scattered throughout the campus and ranch.
